“Helping to provide adequate and affordable housing solutions for Off-Reserve Aboriginal People in Nova Scotia using the Off-Reserve Aboriginal Housing Trust Fund”

Our Goal:

To address the short-term off-reserve Aboriginal housing pressures based on Provincial housing needs and priorities. To increase investment in and provide for the availability of adequate and affordable new housing units, and to maintain the long-term sustainability of existing housing units occupied and owned by off-reserve Aboriginal families and individuals in Nova Scotia.

Serving:

Off-reserve Aboriginal families and individuals in need of first-time homeownership.

Off-reserve Aboriginal seniors (58 years of age and older) and non-senior homeowners living in their own home, having a registered deed, with a yearly total household income at or below program qualification limits, where at least one aspect of the home requires either structural, electrical, plumbing, heating and or health and safety repairs or modifications to make the home more accessible for disabled occupants.
